Poll: Should Kids Be Allowed To Carry Guns?
- Thread starter Stormcloud23
- Start date
yes under these stipulations
its a .22lr or smaller caliber registered RIFLE
its at a shooting range or other aproved area
their legal guardians are present
the legal guardian must have direct access to the child at all times
they must both go to a MANDATORY weapons safety course approved by the state
all range or area rules must be followed at all times.

Everyone should carry guns at all times. Kids should carry guns to school, nurses should carry guns into the hospital, everyone should be handed a gun before they enter a plane to prevent terrorism. Can you see how safe that would be? everyone able to stop violence by being able to shoot any threat on a moments notice. Since everyone has a gun, no one would want to take out their gun in fear that another person will shoot them. Incidentally, every nation should have intercontinental ballistic missiles for the same reason. I'm drowning in sarcasm. Yo dog, I heard you like guns so I put a gun on your gun so you can shoot while your shooting.
10 year olds with guns, yeh that can't possibly go wrong.
If I was allowed to carry one I would never use it to harm someone unless they were intent on harming me, even then I would just threaten them with it, I would only let loose if they were holding a gun to me.
remember "all under 18's" includes the underage members of 4chan... BAD IDEA

I get the logic of giving them a better way to defend themselves, but kids with guns is going to cause more deaths than it will save lives. Imagine the old "My dad could beat your dad" arguments, but replace dad's with guns.
Then imagine that argument turning into a full gunfight.

I said the reason a kid would have a gun is protection. I didn't say this kidguardian001 said:

Meaning either this kid can't handle the recoil or they instructed him wrong.
Adults do that to, also the training I suggest would lower the number of idiots.
if the result is severe pain than who cares?
They told me what and wasn't safe, and I sorted out the bullshit (my mom is illogically afraid of going up stairs for example, I knew it when I was 7). Yes I pay attention to it, unless I'm playing RON or am online, in which case I have ear phones on. Also, if they let 16 year olds (17 year olds in New Jersey) drive 3000 ton vehicles, things much more fucking dangerous, that they are trained on how to use, my last worry is them getting guns.
It's not a risk, it's a guarantee, irresponsible kids already do that. Unless somehow this would stop that I can't see how I could argue with what you said.
I say it's worth the
...what kind of idiots did you know in school? If my replica pistol from the 1870s was real I could take down a guy armed with a rocket launcher if I'm fast enough.nova18 said:

.........The average member at /b/ probably isn't smart enough to pass the training that me and the OP both required. You're arguing against either a strawman or some fucktard who thinks kids should have guns without being told how to use them in which case report and move on.traceur_ said:
I hate to point this out, but here in Britain, we aren't planning to retry invading you again (although 'invade' isn't the right word for 'putting down a revolt').SmogCzar said:
And yeah, we have gun crime, and there was about 9500 reported crimes involving them in 2006 (news report [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6960431.stm]). Knife crime is a bigger problem, with around 22,000-ish cases.
In the same year, the USA had approximately 400,000 cases of gun crime (Justice department statistics [http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/guncrime.htm]).
Now, in the 2006 there was approximately x7 Americans to Brits (i.e. for every person in Britain, there was 7 people in America), so lets scale that up:
Scaled up gun crime in the UK: 66,500
Scaled up kinfe crime in the UK: 154,000
So, its pretty clear, to me, that we have far less gun and knife crime in the UK than the USA for our population. Not saying it proves a gun ban would work for America, but it suggests that would be the case. And hunting guns are different to pistols, automatic pistols, etc.
